Orchestra & Suzuki Program Overview

Where to find instruments, music and supplies
Please click, to view a list of some area music stores that may be helpful to you.  Each one offers a somewhat different plan for renting or purchasing and I recommend investigating several sources to get an idea of the range of both quality and price. Some shops specialize in stringed instruments.  By checking several store or catalog websites, you can get a pretty good idea of how much various  brands of beginning or intermediate level instruments cost and how much they cost to buy or rent.
